PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       vfscanf, vscanf, vsscanf - format input of a stdarg argument list

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdarg.h>
       #include <stdio.h>

       int vfscanf(FILE *restrict stream, const char *restrict format,
	      va_list arg);
       int vscanf(const char *restrict format, va_list arg);
       int vsscanf(const char *restrict s, const char *restrict format,
	      va_list arg);

DESCRIPTION

       The vscanf(), vfscanf(), and vsscanf() functions shall be equivalent to the scanf(), fscanf(), and sscanf() functions, respectively, except
       that  instead  of  being  called  with  a  variable number of arguments, they are called with an argument list as defined in the <stdarg.h>
       header. These functions shall not invoke the va_end macro. As these functions invoke the va_arg macro, the value of ap after the return	is
       unspecified.

RETURN VALUE

       Refer to fscanf().

ERRORS

       Refer to fscanf().

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       Applications using these functions should call va_end( ap) afterwards to clean up.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
